Problem:
How do I find specific text in the body or subject of an email using Microsoft PowerShell
Solution:
First you will need to find the name of your DiscoveryMailbox:
Get-Mailbox –RecipientTypeDetails DiscoveryMailbox | export-csv c:\temp\disc.csv
Then run the below PowerShell code:
$UserCredential = Get-Credential $exchangeSession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri "https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/" -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication "Basic" -AllowRedirection Import-PSSession $exchangeSession -DisableNameChecking Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery 'Subject:"*Some Text*"' -targetmailbox "DiscoverySearchMailbox{Your ID number}" -targetfolder "SearchResult" -logonly -loglevel full Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Search-Mailbox -SearchQuery 'Body:"*Some Text*"' -targetmailbox "DiscoverySearchMailbox{Your ID number}" -targetfolder "SearchResult" -logonly -loglevel full
You then need to add the DiscoverySearchMailbox to your Outlook to see the results.
